Leo directly finished Eileen's sentence for her, his tone firm and decisive.

Eileen lowered her head, no longer saying anything.

Under the control of the soul imprint, her thoughts and emotions could no longer be hidden from him.

Her fate, whether life or death, was now entirely up to him.

Even though the forces behind her were incredibly powerful, they couldn't help her now.

All she felt was regret.

It wasn't regret over what she had done to Lilith; it was regret that she hadn't acted sooner.

She should have known better. The construction materials and the restrictive measures in Dalton had been beyond her imagination.

But the weakness of the city's managers and their low rank had made her let her guard down. Given that, she had assumed that the president of Dalton wouldn't be too strong.

She thought the city was likely some kind of secret realm or ruins, and couldn't possibly have been created by beings from this plane.

Besides, with her holy artifact protecting her, she had no fear of anyone from this plane.

What she thought would be a simple and pleasant hunt had turned into a disaster, with her even losing her life!

Even if the temple could avenge her in the future, it felt bitter to trade her life for the life of an inferior being!

Her identity was noble—how could such lowly beings compare to her!?

Even if the entire lower plane was sacrificed, it wouldn't even measure up to a fraction of her worth!

At this moment, Leo's gaze toward Eileen had become as indifferent as if he were looking at a dead person.

The moment she harbored ill thoughts about Lilith, her fate was sealed.

To steal someone else's destiny was akin to destroying their existence and future.

Buzz—

Leo expressionlessly raised his right hand.

A destructive energy gathered in his palm.

As his thoughts moved, the rune imprinted on Eileen's soul suddenly exploded with blinding light!

"Ah—!!"

"Lowly inferior being... the temple will never forgive you!!"

"And Dalton, and Lilith!"

"Her end will be a hundred, no, a thousand times more miserable than mine..."

Boom—!!!

Accompanied by a tremendous shockwave at the soul level,

Eileen's body and soul were completely obliterated, vanishing under the absolute suppression of the Emblem of Order.

Because of her arrogance and greed, this person, who once had a bright future in the Sanctum of Light, ultimately perished in the very lower plane she had looked down upon!

Leo gently brushed off nonexistent dust from his robes, his expression unchanged.

Despite Eileen's powerful and mysterious background, Leo had acted without hesitation.

No matter who she was, anyone who dared to target Lilith would meet only death!

Moreover, Leo had absolute power, with no fear of any consequences!

If the Sanctum of Light dared to come after him, he would make sure they never returned!

...

Meanwhile.

At the peak of a radiant mountain surrounded by billions of holy lights, an elderly man dressed in a magnificent bishop's robe suddenly opened his eyes.

He seemed to sense something and looked towards the holy altar, where several glowing saplings were planted.

One of them, which had been burning with a golden flame, suddenly flickered violently before withering completely with a soft pop!

This meant that the soul origin tied to it had completely dissipated!

Boom—!

An overwhelming killing intent and fury erupted from the mountain peak like a supernova, sweeping across the entire Sanctum of Light!

All members of the temple knelt, trembling in the presence of this terrifying aura.

The next moment,

A roar filled with endless rage echoed throughout the radiant holy mountain.

"To think they dared to kill my granddaughter, Selestin!!"

"Whoever you are, wherever you flee in the multiverse, I will erase you and everything related to you from the timeline in the name of holy light!!!"

In an instant,

Numerous figures emanating divine aura shot up from every corner of the temple, heading towards the mountain peak.

"Your Holiness!"

Several powerful figures with vast auras knelt before Selestin, their expressions solemn.

The elderly man was none other than Selestin, the current Pope of the Sanctum of Light, and also Eileen's grandfather.

At this moment, Selestin's face was contorted with anger as he looked at the withered soul sapling, his body trembling with rage. A destructive aura spread out.

"The lower realm... it's actually some low-level plane!?"

His voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief and fury.

He couldn't accept that his granddaughter had perished in such a lowly plane!

Due to the restrictions of the supreme rules, the stronger the existence, the harder it was for them to descend into lower planes.

At his current rank, it was almost impossible for him to personally travel there.

But revenge was not without other options!

Selestin suddenly lifted his head, his eyes burning with the fire of vengeance.

"Send my orders! The temple's holy adjudicators are to assemble immediately and head to the plane corridors!"

Instantly, countless powerful beings from the Sanctum of Light transformed into beams of holy light, leaving the temple's core area and racing towards the plane corridors that connected the various plane barriers.

...

Having just completely erased Eileen, Leo was about to leave the law space.

However, a divine mark with tracking and marking properties suddenly pierced through several dimensions, directly entering his body.

Leo furrowed his brow.

[Master, this is a high-level tracking divine mark, and it's difficult to remove with conventional methods. However, it has no real impact on you.]

Hearing the system's explanation, Leo understood.

This was likely a backup left by the core members of the Sanctum of Light, designed to lock onto the killer in the event of their death and help them seek revenge later.

The system could easily erase this mark.

But Leo chose not to do so.

Want revenge?

Let them come!

He, Leo, was truly fearless now.

And as an invincible being, why would he need to be wary of such petty threats?

If they had the ability, let them come and try to kill him! He didn't even care to hunt them down.

With a flash of his figure, Leo left the space.

This trip had been quite informative, at least giving him a preliminary understanding of the enemies he might face in the future.

The Sanctum of Light, a force he had never heard of, was likely from a higher-level plane.

A plane above Sakend?

Let them send one, and he'd personally crush them!

Their power far exceeded the level of this plane, and no one else could handle them except him.

Soon, Leo reappeared in Dalton Town.

"President, you've returned."

Vincent and the others hurried over to greet him.

At this moment, Lilith was walking back with Selas, both wearing smiles, clearly enjoying their conversation.

When Lilith saw Leo, she immediately beamed and ran toward him.

"Dad!"

Hearing his daughter's cheerful call, Leo's face softened into a loving smile as he opened his arms.

"Lilith, come here."

With a small run,

Lilith darted into Leo's arms, hugging him tightly.

Her mind was filled with confusion at this moment.

Why was trouble and danger always following her, almost like it was especially drawn to her?

If others knew, they would probably sigh and say she didn't know how fortunate she was.

After all, whose father could wield the power to shake the stars and have mountains of wealth?

In comparison, those little dangers that always followed were nothing to be concerned about.

Looking at his daughter in his arms, Leo's displeasure instantly melted away.

He reached out, gently stroking Lilith's silver hair, which shimmered like Starshine.

"These days, my little star has worked hard."

He spoke softly, with a hint of affection.

"Look at you... Hm? Why do you seem a bit rounder?"

"Where did you gain weight?"

Lilith pushed Leo away.

Her little face puffed up with dissatisfaction, causing Leo to chuckle.
